Overview

Description

Curcumin is a yellow colored polyphenol obtained from the rhizome ofCurcuma longaL. It is also known as diferuloyl methane, a symmetric molecule with a seven carbon linker connecting two o-methoxy phenolic groups containing aromatic rings. Curcumin is synthesized by Pabon′s reaction using vanillin and acetyl acetone in the presence of boric oxide. It constitutes an important part of various diets and herbal medicines, especially in the Asian continent for its various salubrious effects on human health.Curcumin has been used:to study itsin vitroeffect on the inflammation and expression of tumour factor in patients with chronic kidney diseasesto determine its influence when used in combination with high frequency ultrasound on human cervical carcinoma cellsto study the possibility of using magnetic purification of curcumin fromCurcuma longaby surface active maghemite nanoparticles (SAMNs)to examine its effect on the amyloid-β peptide levels along with the maturation of amyloid-β precursor proteins in various cell lines and primary cortical neurons in mouseas a supplement to evaluate its anti-carcinogenic and anti-apoptotic effect on cancer cells and cardiomyocytesto test its anti-inflammatory effect in human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, the HL-60
